Watt Puppy 7 needs new or used Amp and Pre-amp

I'm building my system on a pair of Watt Puppy 7 speakers. Currently I have my vintage Marantz 250 amp with an SAE Mark 1B Pre-amp/equalizer.
I think the preamp needs to be replaced first. I need some advice on putting together a system on a tight budget. Thanks for helpful advice!

Mcintosh pre amps, arround 3000 (C46 or C2200) are also good choices to W/p 7. I run my w/p 7 frist from MA2275, then bought a C200/MC 501 combination. The combintion is just great!!

I second the notion of tubes for the WP7. I auditioned the full line of Wilson speakers extensively before I ultimately bought Maxx 2's. The WP7 was very detailed, but definitely bright in comparison to the current Sofia and Maxx 2.
